What does this mean?

Dear Kimberly,

Thank you for your request. The presented object is a cross pendant with the measurements of 9 x 2.5 inches. It was made out of carved wood, was later laquered and show the date 1761. Additionally we see religious symbols related to the catholic iconography. The purpose of this cross could be related to pilgrimage or to a monastery.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 150 to 300 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.

With best regards,
Georg
